Nice morph from that classic farside comic Trey. Gary Larson really needs to come out of retirement. No comic ever made me laugh like the Farside could. I used to have a tshirt with that comic on the back.

I am a musician by trade. Did the band and choir thing all the way through HS and College. Graduated and now lead several choirs and ensembles at the church where I work.

Took up the clarinet in 4th grade...hated it! My junior year I took up piano so I could learn to read sheet music. The teacher never bothered to instruct me since I could play by ear, instead she concentrated on the other students who had no business whatsoever sitting in front of any musical instrument, and so I learned to read and play a little Bach invention by myself!

All through my teens my dad owned all sorts of electronic organs, from a '68 Montgomery Ward chord organ, to several SS Hammonds (no B3, but they did have tube Leslies), an electrified WurliTzer reed organ, and several Rodgers early digital church organs. I learned to play (by ear) many traditional church hymns and Christmas carols just enough to have people recognize them; I mostly play in the key of C 'cause that's all I know, and my fingering technique sucks without question (I can't get my pinkies to work on a keyboard). Later he bought and restored an antique 1888 Estey 2-manual pump organ which we still have today, and in '83 he completed the building and installation of a 19 rank residence pipe organ in our house, complete with MIDI control to a Cakewalk 4.0 DOS sequencer and a Roland SoundCanvas synth module (MIDI controller is defunkt, and the organ's up for sale).

Back in '81 with the Army one of my roommates was lead singer/guitarist to a local Atlanta punk band called the "Digital Delinquents" and he wanted me to be his keyboardist. I didn't feel like I was good enough to play that style of music, so I turned him down (I still regret that decision to this day)...that's the closest I ever got to actually playing with any band.
